Headed to Greece this morning. Academia of Athens 3 nights, Mystique Santorini 5 nights. The Atlantic leg is DFW-LHR in biz class on an AA 777-300ER, but first we’re slumming it on an Mad Dog from KC. AA retires these old fuckers in September so enjoying the nostalgia of what is likely to be my last flight on the American workhorse plane for my entire life.

Boozing @ the DFW flagship lounge and watching planes take off. My heart is very full

Joked with the check in ladies because I was business class international and my friend weren't about me getting flagship and not them and they gave my friends flagship passes. It was late and not busy. That was sure nice of them though.

I remember being a kid and Wichita got this downtown Hyatt and they ran a story in the paper about how great Hyatt’s are and how Wichita was a big time city for getting one. It might have literally been front page news in the Eagle. Then because it’s wichita, it didn’t make any money and the city had to buy it

why didn't pilot point the nose of the plane down to dump that cone thing out of the engine

if he was scared of pointing the nose of the plane down because he's scared of heights or whatever, he could have used a pole and stuck it out the window and hooked the cone and drug it out of the engine.

i don't know, leaving it there seem irresponsible especially since you can see the engine core is red hot

New warning: Don't get in a fight with someone who doesn't even need to bother to buy ink.
